The term ‘Asbestos’ derives from the Greek word meaning ‘inextinguishable’ as it is heat-resistant. During the 19th century, asbestos was used more frequently all over the world. It’s resistance to heat, electricity and chemical damage was so remarkable that it was often mixed with cement to create a heat blocking, tensile, chemical resistant building material. Unfortunately in the mid 80’s it was discovered that inhalation of asbestos could cause serious illnesses such as Mesothelioma and Asbestosis.
After people realised that asbestos caused Asbestosis, it was actually banned in many countries. The misuse of asbestos can cause serious side affects, and so the Department for the Environment only give certification to companies who can safely handle the removal and disposal of asbestos.
Most people can be exposed to low amounts of asbestos present in the atmosphere with no ill effects.
Asbestos fibres are potentially very dangerous if inhaled in high concentrations over a period of time, when they can cause serious lung diseases including cancer. The symptoms of these diseases often do not appear for between 20 -30 years after exposure to asbestos.
